James, i cant beleive you done this

RipVan Winkle - 7 years ago

I really enjoy these videos and also the commentary. I don't want to be negative but I find the music REALLY REALLY annoying. May I suggest lowering the volume of the music compared to the commentary?

I want to hear James talking, not a voice from narrator.

Perfection @39:00 very relaxing. Any chance the TGM team could make an hour long video of just that view and music? I'll be a great video for us play over and over on large screens and would allow many to experience living with the results and subsequently getting into the hobby.

When ya try to copy James' artistry and thought process but your tank is only 6 gallons. "Hm the reciprocity of the mother pebble to the master twig".

turned out pretty unique but my plant choices were horrible

Bobby Boy - 8 years ago

hi do you sell marine fish

Angel Castaneda - 8 years ago

The music is just as peaceful as the the aquarium in the end. Do you sell a soundtrack? or who do you get the music from? It all just fits in nicely and harmoniously.

Planted Nano - 8 years ago

I absolutely loved watching this. I also love that even with the huge size of the tank, where you could choose to add everything you wanted, that he went for the minimum. Great choice and I think you can tell by how well it looks in the end. Wonderful 40 minutes spent. :D

Salkio - 9 years ago

when making such big tanks especially with soil/sand covered with plant roots do you need to clean the soil/sand with a special pump? or do you ignore all the fish poop landing on the floor bed?

mickenoss - 8 years ago

+Salkio I always wondered how much life a layout has ...meaning, do you have to strip and rebuild every 2 years or something, or will it last say 5 years or more?

nenaj1 - 8 years ago

mystery snails eat waste too. I see them slurp it right up lol

Salkio - 9 years ago

Ahh i see, but when u use that tool to clean to soil does it not break or damage the plant roots? I remember having a pump with a long plastic tube which u stick into the soil to suck everything up. Not sure if u are referring to this tool.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 9 years ago

+Salkio We add shrimp who eat some of the waste and when cleaning we will use a manual syphon to remove debris from some areas within the tank (usually once a week).

I like these very open, iwagumi style aquariums. It gives a great sense of scale of calmness. I'll definitely get one of these in the future.

khan heshan - 9 years ago

These are some good layouts and I've enjoyed watching several videos now, but what I've noticed is that the fish population in these tanks is quite low. Especially for this massive tank there are so few fish, and none of them are larger species.

Alex Paulsen - 9 years ago

+TheGreenMachineLtd Every time my fish population gets low, I have a spike in algae growth. Oxygen supply I guess. I've actually found it easier to manage a well-stocked tank.

That said, my latest aquarium is sand and plants, with only bog wood as hardscape. I think it will be easier to manage any algae I get.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 9 years ago

+apophis777 Creatively, larger species make the layout look smaller which is less desirable. Also it's better for the fishes welfare to have as much space as possible... this goes for fish size as well as total quantity in a given space.

Ricky Nguyen - 10 years ago

is that normal tap water added during the planting stage ? Also are those cardboard supporter ? or plastic ( and when do u remove it ) would that harm your fishes or shrimps. Thanks for reply in advance. Greenmachine always surprise me :D

Luke Nicholson - 10 years ago

Probably normal tap water with water additives like water ager and they're plastic supports so the substrate doesn't role down or move and you leave them in there and cover them with dirt and plants. Cardboard if you've never seen it wet breaks apart and will destroy your aquarium...

How come in these videos they always plant straight away yet when I got ada soil I was told not to plant for 3 weeks? They said the substrate releases ammonia to mature the filter and it would kill the plants. Why is it different with this substrate?

TheGreenMachineLtd - 10 years ago

Thanks for the feedback, sometimes we wait between hardscape and planting, perhaps we should point this out more obviously in our videos.

Hinz Kunz - 10 years ago

I have always wondered how it is managed that the back and side glass is all black. is it because the lights around are turned off or is there some black foil ? Ive seen this in different colours and could not figure out how they've always done this. When I put foil on the outside it looks ... like an aquarium with foil :D just unnatural. Can anybody explain it for me ?

TheGreenMachineLtd - 10 years ago

This is a 360° free standing aquarium in our shop. For photography we use temporary backdrops.

Those bubbles are just from the plants? That is incredible... I've never seen anything like it.

Profezor Snayp - 10 years ago

+General Lee Savage
It's obvious for someone with even basic aquascaping knowledge that these bubbles are oxygen produced by the plants. Also 'unknown chemicals'? Sure, but just for someone who doesn't recognise oxygen when he sees it.

General Lee Savage - 10 years ago

More likely from the 10lbs of unknown magical chemicals he dropped in at the start of the video

HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP - 11 years ago

At first glance- I envisioned this as to be a winding road, through a mountain range- with strange birds and woodland creatures scurrying about. So peaceful, clean, & quiet. I would've preferred a drilled tank- without the water/filter/heater aparatus visible at all, and possibly multi-spectrum programmable LEDs; more enviro-friendly and longer life-hours than high wattage & HOT Halides, much cheaper to run!

What are the substrate supports made of?

muffemod - 11 years ago

Truth. Sadly most users in the community have not caught on to this yet. 10 or 20 years from now it will be all the rage. You're ahead of your time.

Andrea Toman - 11 years ago

This is a beautiful aquascape! I love what he did with building up the opposing corners. I do feel like the road curves the wrong way... Roads don't have bends unless there is something to go around. It could have bended around the rock formations, but instead it bent the opposite way into the rock formations.

how many gallons?

gooner1matt - 11 years ago

The only thing which is letting this tank down are the terrible heater and canister filter pipes at both ends, this tank is crying out for a sump, somewhere you can hide all the equipment and therefore only need a pipe at each end drilled through the bottom of the tank. Its such a beautiful tank however I feel all the equipment gets close to ruining it.

naattik - 11 years ago

I am just looking to setup a 10 gallon tank and stumbled across this one :) I don't think TGM has a branch in NYC. I am researching on how to build a planted tank and turns out it's gonna be an expensive hobby. Nevertheless, the video, tank and his style is a great inspiration and fun to watch. I wonder how many years of practice and patience ..learning it took for James Findley. WOW !!!

ziggy511 - 11 years ago

cool tank, but the narration and music are awful.

Amelia Morris - 11 years ago

This tank is absolutely stunning and an inspiration. Aquascaping is not common in New Zealand and most aquatics shops don't even sell fertilizers. I wish Natures Aquarium and the Green Machine was here.

andy o'sullivan - 11 years ago

how easy it the upkeep of this?? i.e algae growth.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

It depends on the size and setting. Glass is usually preferable because it doesn't warp light unevenly such as in the case of acrylic - this can distract from viewing the aquascape. Acrylic has the advantage of higher clarity and therefore better colour representation. Acrylic won't shatter like glass. Our largest display tanks are acrylic whereas all our smaller aquariums are glass. We advise that glass is the best choice for most circumstances.

SilentDreamcast - 11 years ago

do you guys use glass or acrylic aquariums?

ZHT1988 - 11 years ago

Lol wow, I started off keeping freshwater tanks and have always wanted to do a saltwater tank. Just now I started working on one because of its beauty, but after watching this video and seeing that he's taking his time to seperate the roots and place them one by one in very detailed spots, is brilliant. I usually just place the whole plant in the gravel. Then when the water and fishes were added seeing how they swam was mind blowing.I regret not giving freshwater a serious try, Thankyou :)

The best way is to visit our shop and let one of our team talk you through it. That way you can learn the basics and decide what is best for your budget. It is possible to have a basic setup but compromises in light and other things limit choice of plants etc. It takes someone with hands on experience to guide you correctly. Most shops out there won't be able to offer sufficiently good advice in this case.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

Good luck!

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

On our website... search 'TGM Substrate Supports'

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

True- there is greater creative scope.

ADA Aqua Soil does not need to be cleaned. Liquid fertilization is also used in the water for the plants.

first of all, congratulations for this aquarium aquascape. i have a question ('n im starting in this world of aquascaping) how do you clean the substrate, or you don´t? and do you need any kind of 'medical' care with the plants or the substrate is enough for the next few years ?

Mgtow Monk Templar Meng John Lee - 12 years ago

tell him to give me his big giant tank. cause my large goldfishes: ryukins, orandas, black moors, common goldfishes, and algea eaters need that tank. i have 14 fish all together. 20 glalon so far, they;re all babies atm. gonna get a 55 gallon in future. if hmong tv, or hmong usa tv pays me, when they have a good budget to pay me. i work in the shadows for them for the time being. i work for both companies, i am not a traitor, i just like helping out my own kind. the other races have no respect.

PanoramicFaith - 12 years ago

They explain in the video that he uses small fish in his nature aquariums to increase the sense of scale. It's supposed to feel like you're looking at a vast landscape. Without these small fish, this would be just another fish tank, instead of the artistic beauty that James typically creates.

tanguy desvosges - 12 years ago

Hello, I was wondering if you could give me the parameters of the water? Thank you.

Mgtow Monk Templar Meng John Lee - 12 years ago

those fishes are too small for that tank. all i am saying.

PanoramicFaith - 12 years ago

I don't think goldfish would compliment this tank at all.

PanoramicFaith - 12 years ago

Don't question the master.

you should've put goldfish in that tank instead of those small fish.

ShellysAshes - 12 years ago

I wish I was a Premiership Footballer so I could pay James Findley and his team to build a scape for me.

Dylan Such - 12 years ago

Also is there any way that at some point the GreenMachine can make an hour long vid of just the completed tanks that I can play on my tv in HD? its nice to have stuff like tha playingt while I work through my university assignments! Cheers!

Dylan Such - 12 years ago

Thanks for the response and the suggestion. Is there any chance that your music will become available to the public at some point? Also thanks for making such great vids! I hope to see more build videos like "Reciprocity" and "Natures Chaos". I have seen both countless times and have been able to pull some inspiration from them that shows in my own tanks. It would be great if you could do more like that!

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

We've had a lot of interest in our music... this soundtrack is made by our in house team so it's not available to the public at the moment. One of James' personal favourites for aquascaping is Vangelis - have a listen to the Blade Runner soundtrack amongst others :)

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

Correct, it can last a very long time depending on the plants used and the skills of the maintenance team. This aquarium is still going strong.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

We can ship anywhere... even if its not yet on our web system. Folow the 'Worldwide Shipping' instructions on our website.

The CO2 is diffused inline with the filter (outside of the tank) using a TGM Custom Kit. We've updated the description of the video to link to the Reciprocity Aquascape Journal on our website which details what was used in the setup and features many photographs that can't be seen in this video!

That's the good thing with planted aquarium, naturally the plant act as a natural filter so all you need to do is siphon the water and add new water into the tank to replenish the mineral and of course clean the algae off the glass if there is any.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

If you want to purchase products, related questions should be directed to us directly at our shop. Visit our website to get our contact details.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

Correct. Tropical fresh warm water.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

This is oxygen produced by the plants during photosynthesis. This oxygen is what the fish breathe.

TheGreenMachineLtd - 12 years ago

Yes that is correct. We add CO2 to the water for the plants and they in turn generate the oxygen for the fish. You cannot use airstones in a planted tank because they will kill the plants.

Brandon Pek - 12 years ago

Poor choice of fishes. Should include cherry shrimps and schooling fishes like neon tetras instead of the messy and un-appealing combination of small fishes.

Nice layout. Hard work. What I dont understand is why in an layout like this that has so much attention to detail that I have to look at intake/output tubes on the ends. Its a common thing. Why can't these tanks be drilled and and have all the plumbing go through the bottom and have those tubes hidden within the layout? Your opinion?

Add up the surface area of your aquarium stand, add the weight of water (8.3 lbs per gallon) plus and rock, plants or other items you're going to use and then divide by the surface area. That will give you a rough figure of the pressure per square foot.

Oh! :) Yes, this is a mammoth Nature Aquarium - James Findley originally had this tank made for his home...but the plans soon grew into a shop so it went into The Green Machine's showroom instead! It is possible to achieve results that are stunning in smaller aquariums too though - we've got some videos of James Findley doing some smaller Nature Aquariums coming out next.
